2 organizations in Long Beach that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Long Beach, a city of nearly half a million, lists just two adoption organizations on this page—K9 Kismet Dog Rescue and Long Beach Animal Care Services—but both have solid web presences and regular intake. Don't let the small count fool you; this is beagle-friendly territory, and you're minutes from several neighboring cities that expand your options considerably. Start with these two, then look outward if the timing calls for it. K9 Kismet is breed-focused and worth your first call.
Long Beach, CA
A volunteer-run dog rescue based in Long Beach serving Southern California through foster homes and adoption. K9 Kismet takes dogs through a structured adoption process—application, phone interview, meet-and-greet, and home visit—ensuring careful matches. All dogs are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped before adoption, with fees scaled by age. It's an all-breed rescue, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up among its available dogs.
Long Beach, CA
Long Beach Animal Care Services is the municipal shelter for Long Beach, Cerritos, and Signal Hill, California. It adopts out dogs and cats, runs foster and volunteer programs, and offers lost-and-found and wildlife services. As a city shelter it takes in strays and surrenders of all breeds, so beagles and hound-mixes come through regularly—worth checking if you're in the area.

No organizations match that grade.
K9 Kismet may be your best shot for a dedicated beagle match, so call them first and ask about waitlists. Long Beach Animal Care Services also takes hounds regularly. If neither has a beagle today, Westminster is just ten miles away with four more organizations, and Lakewood is five minutes east with two more. Call ahead to confirm a dog is actually available before you drive. Adopting a beagle from Long Beach or nearby keeps a hound out of a shelter and into the home it deserves—and you'll have a devoted little companion for all those Southern California trails ahead.
